Coming up…

ByVanessa Tan

I am working on more detailed blog posts on the following topics, which are of great /increasing interest to me:

  1. Web 2.0 – How it is the mindset (of sharing, collaboration, contribution etc) and not just the technology that makes something truly Web 2.0
  2. How planning to have ‘viral marketing’ can quite often be an irony
  3. Why local vendors seem to like pitching search engine marketing as just buying keywords, when we should also be ensuring our own websites’ content is engaging and code is optimised for search engine indexing (I’m still doing research on this topic but these are my initial thoughts)

There, I’ve laid it all out so that I will be obliged to blog. You have permission to nag me if I don’t write anything about this in the next month or two.

    [I’ve been on Twitter](http://twitter.com/vantan) [long enough](http://www.whendidyoujointwitter.com/) (980 days) to notice a trend in how people are followed and unfollowed. At a superficial level, there are plenty of relatively new Twitterers who seek popularity by following lots of people, in the hope that these people will reciprocate. In most cases, this tactic works. Because most people…

    There was some hullabaloo this morning after I returned from church. My dad had, for the first time in his life, purchased serious software online. To be precise, it was an antivirus and firewall package he was trying to upgrade to, and somehow the installation screwed up, rendering his computer useless, making him grumpy and…
